WHY TO HOLD BGF

While globalization is often discussed under the umbrella of another topic, we believe that the lessons, trends and future of globalization are worthy of our direct attention and collaboration.

We seek to bring different people from related industries together for this yearly event. The learning possibilities at the Business Globalization Forum are unique. We hope you'll be a part of it. And we'd like your help in making the Business Globalization Forum an unprecedented learning exchange.
